We are a UK-based team building the venue management platform we wished we had when we ran events ourselves. Founded in 2018 by five independent UK venues, led today by Emma Hardcastle.
Who we are
Hostology is a UK-based wedding and event venue management platform, founded in 2018 through the collaboration of five established independent venues: Dewsall Court, Elmore Court, Iscoyd Park, Pennard House and Wasing Park. Led by CEO Emma Hardcastle, the team builds venue-native software and runs The Collective, a peer community for venue owners.
